Real Estate Bookkeeping Service
Hey everyone! I’m new to the BiggerPockets forums but have been a long-time fan of the podcasts. I recently started a bookkeeping business and wanted to get your take — is there much demand for bookkeeping services geared toward real estate investors? My background is in real estate accounting for companies ranging from small multifamily startups to large commercial and development firms. I’ve always wondered if individual investors building their own portfolios could use this kind of support.

Are you behind on your 2025 bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping system ideas
Hi, Does anyone have a simple system to do your bookkeeping from the reports that your property manager sends you? I have two properties run by 2 different management companies.
First time builder and landlord
Looking for any direction or advice from anyone who's been through a similar situation. I'm buying land from family in southern middle Tennessee (approximately 2 acres) and planning on building a new construction quad plex with four units approximately 1750 square feet each. I'm planning on using private financing to get my foot in the door with these first four units of my portfolio, and then to scale up and build more units on site as they're paid off.
REI Hub Bookkeeper
Hey @Dumisani Thomsen, last time we used REI Hub for one of our bookkeeping clients it was missing some reporting features that QBO possesses. It was also missing some features that make it quicker to correct transactions at scale that QBO possesses. So, we don't use REI Hub anymore (just QBO). I'm sure it's better now than it was a couple of years ago due to improvements.
Rental softwares Quickbooks
Hey @Zach Logan, if you want to track rentals with QBO you'll need the QBO Plus subscription. Then, you can use the class feature or customer feature to track each individual rental. If you have multiple entities, I recommend using the location/business feature to track each "disregarded" entity within 1 QBO. Bookkeeping for REI companies (especially rental property companies) is super nuanced.
Bookkeeping for Real Estate Investors
Had a nightmare tax season or a huge CPA bill because your books are a mess? Looking to offload your bookkeeping work to focus on your next deal or your personal life? Or just growing so fast that spreadsheets and DIYing your books isn't cutting it anymore? After learning the ins and outs of QuickBooks Online for our house hacks and STR, a few years ago I started helping other investors with their bookkeeping.

Seeking Advice on REI Bookkeeping
Hi everyone, As a newbie in the world of Real Estate Investing (REI), I'm eager to establish a strong foundation for managing my finances. To streamline this process and stay organized, I'm seeking recommendations for user-friendly online bookkeeping tools specifically designed for REI.
Mixing Rental and Personal Finances
When we start working with new clients, one of the first things we check is how their finances are structured, and more often than not, it’s all jumbled together. We’ve seen property income going into personal checking accounts, expenses paid with the owner’s Amex, and bookkeeping done off a spreadsheet labeled “rental tracker.” It may seem harmless at first, especially if you only have a few properties, but as you scale, that setup becomes a real liability. It makes tax prep harder.
Financial Software for Investors
Just getting started at building my portfolio. I have an LLC to use to purchase Long-Term Rentals. What software/platform is best for managing finances for investors? I know Quickbooks is the 800lb gorilla in the space, but I was hoping for something more focused on landlording. Bonus if it's cheaper than Quickbooks. TIA!

Best Way to Keep Track of Property Expenses During a Fix & Flip? My Experience
I wanted to share a method that’s really helped me stay on top of my property expenses during fix and flip projects — and hopefully get some feedback or tips from others doing the same! When I started flipping, I found it way too easy to lose track of receipts, go over budget, or forget who I paid and when. That stuff adds up fast — and eats straight into your profits. Here’s how I track my expenses now: 1. Google Drive Folder System I keep everything organized per project in Google Drive.
